Dezső Magyar, Agitators (1969)
“The Missing Siege” Film Screenings
A unique perspective of the paradoxical story of the Hungarian Soviet republic of 1919. The historical background—as formulated by impassioned disputes within the “intellectual group” of the party, philosophical monologues, and archival footages—serves more as an excuse to search for a general model of revolution, which can be applied to later 20th century examples of revolution (1956 and 1968).
This screening is the third and final event in THE MISSING SIEGE film series that is part of THE TRACES OF REVOLUTIONS program series. In the framework of the one-year program series WHAT’S LEFT, which aims to revisit the complex socialist ideological and visual legacy in the year marked by the centennial of the Bolshevik Revolution.
The screening is introduced by István Rév, historian (Blinken OSA).
Free admission.

The program is in Hungarian.
In the framework of the “The Traces of the Revolution” program series that is part of the one-year program series “What's Left?”.
